Whites and Latinos both named Margaret Mitchell's classic Gone with the Wind as their No. 2 book, while Blacks chose the Vatican thriller Angels and Demons from Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown.

"While it's not surprising that Gone with the Wind is the second favorite book in the South, it's also number two in the Midwest," Harris states. "Easterners are more partial to the Lord of the Rings series, and Westerners cite [Stephen King's] The Stand as their second favorite."
